Nissan may have slammed the brakes on Honda merger.

The merger deal that was set to create the third-largest global automaker is now in jeopardy, with dealings between the two companies complicated by their “growing differences” according to Reuters.

While Nikkei Asia reports that Nissan has suspended the merger talks, an unidentified Honda spokesperson told Reuters that it hadn’t heard anything from Nissan about withdrawing from the agreement and that a final decision is expected to be reached by mid-February.

On 4 January, Israeli reservist Yuval Vagdani and his friends had to abruptly end their “dream vacation” in Brazil and escape to neighboring Argentina under cover of darkness.

The local Israeli embassy had been tipped off that the federal court in Brasilia was preparing an arrest warrant against Vagdani for war crimes.

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reportedly played a critical role in helping Vagdani escape prosecution.

Dear astro folks,

with the current crackdown on science in the US, we probably cannot rely on all services provided to the scientific community from the US to function properly in the future and we may need to think about moving them elsewhere. What services would you think of that are essential. NASA funded ADS comes to my mind first. What else and what are the alternatives?

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to withdraw the US from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

The order is also slashing future funding to UNRWA. Funding was suspended in 2024 under the Biden administration.

Last Oct., the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, passed two laws that called for ending UNRWA’s operations in its territory and prohibiting Israeli authorities from having any contact with the agency.

Tuesday's statements from the US president marked the fourth time he has called for the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza and claimed that allies Egypt and Jordan would take in displaced Palestinians.

Palestinian UN representative Riyad Mansour replied to Trump's demands by saying that instead of ethnically cleansing Palestinians, survivors of the US-Israeli genocide should be able to return to their original homes “in what is today Israel.”
